Hex Mayflies
Hexagenia limbata
The famous nocturnal Hex hatch of the Midwest (and a few other lucky locations) stirs to the surface mythically large brown trout that only touch streamers for the rest of the year.

the photos on this forum are really neat, so there is a wealth of experience to answer my question:
how do you get the fish to lie so still next the reel on the grass or on the rocks? it's a wonderfully effective pose.
i have to snap mine in the MeasureNet because otherwise they are away like greased lightening. even then all too many photos are ruined when the fish wiggles, like this prize.
